Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On

Using the black yarn, cast on 64 stitches. Distribute the stitches evenly across four double-pointed needles (16 stitches per needle). Join in the round, ensuring that the stitches are not twisted.

Switch to the white yarn for the leg section:

• Rounds 13-24: Knit all stitches.
• Rounds 25-40: Begin the 3D cable pattern:
• Round 25: *K2, P2, C4F (slip 2 stitches to a cable needle and hold in front, K2, then K2 from the cable needle)* repeat around.
• Rounds 26-28: *K2, P2, K4* repeat around.
• Repeat Rounds 25-28 for a total of 16 rounds.

4. Heel Flap

• Row 2: Sl1, P5, P2tog, P1, turn.
• Row 3: Sl1, K6, K2tog, K1, turn.
• Continue this method until all stitches are worked.

6. Gusset

To create the gusset, pick up stitches along the sides of the heel flap:

• Pick up 12 stitches along each side of the heel flap.
• Resume knitting in the round.
• Round 1: Knit across the top of the foot in the established pattern, K2tog at the end of the first needle and SSK at the beginning of the fourth needle.
• Round 2: Knit all stitches.
• Repeat Rounds 1-2 until you have 64 stitches remaining.

7. Foot

Continue in the established pattern until the foot measures 2 inches less than your desired length.

8. Toe

Switch to the white yarn to work the toe:

• Round 1: *K6, K2tog* repeat around.
• Round 2: Knit all stitches.
• Round 3: *K5, K2tog* repeat around.
• Round 4: Knit all stitches.
• Continue decreasing in this manner until 16 stitches remain.
